    Important Conversations

    Between what we see or hear and our emotions about what we experienced there are stories. Stories create feelings and judgements. We can not change the loop we have created until we change the stories we tell ourselves.  When you absolutely can't avoid having a serious discussion and the stakes are high, how can you recognize the dangers and avoid disaster? In this episode, we review some advice offered by the book Crucial Conversations in chapter 6 "Master My Stories."

    What does it mean to be tolerant?

    In this episode, we discuss what is meant by being tolerant. For example, to be tolerant of others, do we have to give up what we value, what we think is right, our opinions, because it conflicts with others? Of course we don't have the answers but we have suggestions. Join us as we challenge each other on what it means to be tolerant.
